Is it a new truck or is it used with some hop-ups? The SQ Hummer has some known weak points so you may end up spending £100+ to make it reliable. The good news is most parts are compatible with FG so plenty of availability with Rossendale Models being 1 of the best FG stockist in the UK. They certainly look the part tho and the shell is 1 of the best looking trucks out there IMO :D

A few weak points to watch out for:
The stock SQ shocks are prone to leaks (if they don't leak there is prob no oil in them :rolleyes:), diff is weak (stock FG diff is straight swap), wheel squares round off in no time, offside rear wheel is known to come off during running due to poor lock nuts, quality of plastics is generally poor but upgrade to FG as & when they break.
